HB 904 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bail licenses; require suspension of when bail agent fails to pay insurer.

This bill requires Mississippi's insurance commissioner to suspend a bail agent's license if a court rules against them for owing money to an insurer or former employer related to their work. The suspension can be lifted after the debt is paid and a hearing is held to reinstate the license. It also clarifies that certain transaction fees, like credit card processing charges and bond transfer fees, should not be counted as part of the premium or commission charged by bail agents. These changes aim to strengthen financial accountability and clarify fee structures within the state's bail industry.
